Health, Nursing and Midwifery

At Hull we don't just teach the theory. We go beyond the classroom, in simulated operating theatres, hospital wards and intensive care facilities, as well as on clinical placements, to give students the skills, experience and support to become confident and compassionate professional health practitioners. At Hull, Health, Nursing and Midwifery is part of the School of Health and Social Work, which sits within the Faculty of Health Sciences.

Courses

Our expert staff work with local healthcare providers to deliver programmes, ranging from 'bite-size' taster sessions and stand-alone modules to Honours, Masters and research degrees, in some of the UK’s finest facilities.

The Foundation Degree in Health and Social Care (Associate Practitioner) is aimed at people working within the health and social care sector.

"I was the first person in my family to go to university and as a mature student I am doubly proud to have got a first."
